Calories: 520kcal
Ingredients
- 4.5 pound Pork Loin Roast
- 2/3 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup raw honey
- 2 cup ketchup
- 2 teaspoons Sriracha add more if you want to really spice them up
- 1 Tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 can Dr. Pepper or Dr. Pepper Cherry soda
- For thickening: 1/2 cup corn starch mixed into 1/2 cup water
- Buns for serving
Instructions
- Place contents in slow cooker. Give a stir to incorporate and spoon over the top of the roast.
- Cover and cook on low 8 hours or on high for 5 hours.
- Remove roast. Set aside.
- Place your crock pot on high. Add 1/2 cup corn starch mixed into 1/2 cup of water. Whisk into sauce. Cover and let simmer in the pot for about 15-20 mins. Sauce will thicken. (if you want to really speed this process up, place the crock from your crock pot in your microwave and it will thicken in a couple of minutes. )
- Shred pork.
- Add pork back into the thickened sauce and stir to combine. (I reserved about a cup of extra sauce for additional if anyone wanted a little extra)
- Serve hot on buns.
